Yep works spot on ( selecting tcm ) but my front mount zf cooler keeps my temps down quite well

Sorry haven't updated for a while. Yeah the tcm does the trick it reads in celcius after I rebooted my phone

What temps are you getting?

Mine (also with front mount ZF cooler) seems to hover around 40-50 degrees for normal driving.

I have the radiator bypassed on my BTR 4 speed to external cooler, and often see temps of 40-50º with a max of around 75º.

However, what concerns me is that if you look at the viscosity specs of trans fluid, e.g. penrite stuff: http://www.penriteoil.com.au/pis_pdfs/0ATF%2095LE.pdf

The viscosity at 40º is 46, whereas the ford defined operating temperature (nearing 100ºc) is 8.3. Therefore with our trans running so cold, would the internals not be working harder to move the trans fluid around?

Thoughts?

Hard to say but in theory yes

But 90% of transmission failures are due to over heated oil / burnt out oil

Ive always run a front mounted trans cooler on my falcons and had above average trans life and performance

I have trans temp working for the BTR 4 sp!!

After much trawling the Internet and trial and error I now have trans temp for the BTR to be able to be monitored via Torque:

PID: 22092C

Scale Factor: x1

Equation: (((A*256)+B)-32)*5/9

Header: <-- Blank

Did this today. Have been using Torque Pro for quite a while now on multiple cars. Thankyou for posting this. I know it's an old post but was the first I found with the right PID

 

Worked perfectly and temp tracked exactly as expected. Sat near 80 degC once it had stabilised on my BA wagon. 

 

External cooler(rad bypass) and flush Monday so will do a comparison temp and post it here.

Significant drop in temp. This was after a fairly long drive of all mixed driving. Noice :bliss:

Thread revival.....

 

OBD Fusion is available for IOS and it does Trans Fluid Temp

 

Similar settings as the Torque app

 

Currently only showing in F not C but I'm sure it can be changed in the settings, I'll have a play when I get a chance
